When volunteering at the Mexican Pavilion as Coordinator of any area, which typically implies a year of volunteer service, Mex Y Can covers membership dues.

Membership Payment Timelines

New memberships are open all year around. Membership benefits are effective per calendar year.

When a new member registers on October 1st or thereafter, a benefit of their membership is the extension of registered membership benefits for the next calendar year (except for voting at the current year Annual General Meeting (AGM)). For example, someone who registered in October 2018 will continue with their membership benefits until December 31, 2019. That person won’t be eligible to vote at the 2018 AGM but will at the 2019 AGM.

Lapsed members (those who were members, discontinued membership and are returning members) are welcome to pay at any time during the year but their membership will be effective only for that calendar year. For example, a lapsed member was originally a member in 2016 but discontinued membership in 2017, when paying membership back at any time in the current calendar year, their membership will be valid until Dec 31 of that calendar year.

When payment is received on October 1st or thereafter, their voting benefits at the AGM will be effective at the next AGM pending of continual membership renewal for the next calendar year.
